Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

So HV OVP means High Voltage Over Voltage Protection, so it looks like there is some issue with the flyback circuitry for some reason, and it goes into protection. ABL is the Automatic Brightness Limiter, which is also linked to the high voltage stuff, so it definitely looks to be the same issue... -

I was asking myself the same question yesterday, taking measurements. But then I realised there is the USB hub in the stand... so I guess that might be a little too much to ask the seller. It's not like some monitors where you just remove the stand it seems. Where mine is located right now is... -

Well guys, super happy to have finally found a second FW900 after years and years of looking! :D Slightly bad news, it is not quite exactly 100% functional, but it is in very very good condition. No anti glare though... but it's the same for pretty much all FW900s these days sadly. According... -

Yes I've seen that! Though, in some situations, I can start to feel the input lag increase. I need to better understand what the limitations are. Since the last time, I didn't really test that a lot more, I need to get back to it when I find some more time. I know, I've seen all the news around... -

Haha, it is possible, but I for sure would not want to run my FW900 to 133kHz for long. Definitely don't want to take those risks. That said, this is only for progressive, but at 4K you can run interlaced, and there is absolutely no visual difference whatsoever compared to progressive at such a... -

Another thing I was able to retest. HDMI to DisplayPort adapters just don't work at all with interlaced resolutions, at least of the few I tested, none did. Akasa AK-CBHD24-25BK Delock 63206 (Lontium LT6711A) Gofanco HDMIUSBC Startech HD2DPVGADVI (works fine with interlaced on the VGA port, but... -

I continued the testing today, and it seems like 3065 is the maximum horizontal size we can use with interlaced here on the GTX 1080 (running driver 537.58). This is what I get at 3066... I reverted very quickly, things were not happy at all with the whine it made showing this garbage with... -

Interlaced works fine on driver version 537.58, tried it with the CRU technique. It's a fairly recent-ish driver dating Oct. 10, 2023 so just last year. But definitely not the latest driver. Some recent games might not like an older driver like this one. Tried 2560x1600i at 140Hz, which is... -

Sorry lots of unexpected stuff, my testing was delayed. I just had some time and did a quick test with the GTX 1080, on drivers 552.22. While I was able to hit the 430-ish MHz with my LK7112 no problem on progressive, I just can't see any interlaced resolution show up anywhere. I tried with the... -

Well, that's really interesting stuff then! Tomorrow I will fire up a PC I was gonna put for sale (GTX 1080 & i7 6700K), and test that before listing it. I plan on getting a EVGA 1080 Ti Kingpin if I ever find one for a good price one day, it would be really nice to know it is the last GPU that... -

On the latest driver?! I remember we used to be stuck to 411.70 as the latest driver than could do interlaced... They added it back later? I just read on the Nvidia forum some guy saying 537.58 is the latest driver supporting interlaced early 2024? Damn, if Nvidia plays with us going back and... -

I might be wrong with that, but does the Nvidia Pro GPUs use a completely different driver compared to the gaming GPUs? Meaning you could run both a RTX with the latest drivers, and the Quadro with correct drivers for interlaced. Someone mentionned that to me, I completely missed that as I... -

By the way, I mentionned the Intel DG1 GPU earlier... I don't think I talked about that here before. Well... imagine my surprise when I learned Intel created a dedicated GPU before ARC existed. ARC is codenamed DG2, and DG1 was its predecessor. It uses PCIe 4.0 8x. It's a very very quirky Iris... -

Lol, that photo in the article is my FW900 on my desk I built in 2015! I keep seeing this photo on every article online wtf :ROFLMAO: That's the thumbnail I used for that old video: https://youtu.be/vIIWTMOvisw Xar, note that the AMD Radeon R9 380X, the R5 250, plus a few others I haven't... -

Today I hooked up the FW900 to the Intel iGPU, and 3840x2400i at 72Hz looks absolutely stunning on it! I had to tweak the timings a little to get below the 458.49MHz limit, but it worked flawlessly. Crystal clear picture! With only 90.1kHz and 72Hz, it's far from the maximum limits of this...
